Classics Read in English _ The Son of Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs
"The Son of Tarzan" by Edgar Rice Burroughs is a novel written during the early 20th century. This adventure tale continues the story of Tarzan, focusing on his son, Jack, who finds himself drawn to the primal instincts and the wild life of the jungle, much like his father before him. The early chapters set the stage for a narrative filled with themes of family, identity, and the clash between civilization and the untamed world as Jack embarks on his own journey influenced by his father's legacy.
The opening of the novel introduces a variety of characters and situations that foreshadow the unfolding adventures. A boat named the "Marjorie W." navigates the Ugambi River, where a crew rescues an emaciated white man named Alexis Paulvitch, who recounts his harrowing years of suffering and survival in a savage tribe. Meanwhile, the narrative shifts to Jack, the son of Tarzan and Lady Greystoke, who exhibits a fascination with the wild and speaks the language of apes.
His curiosity leads him into a conflict between his civilized upbringing and his inherent ties to the primal world. As he seeks adventure, events set in motion by Paulvitch's malevolence intertwine with Jack's aspirations, suggesting that the influences of both civilization and the jungle will profoundly impact his journey.
Among the contents
The long boat of the Marjorie W. was floating down the broad Ugambi with ebb tide and current. Her crew were lazily enjoying this respite from the arduous labor of rowing up stream. Three miles below them lay the Marjorie W. herself, quite ready to sail so soon as they should have clambered aboard and swung the long boat to its davits. Presently the attention of every man was drawn from his dreaming or his gossiping to the northern bank of the river. There, screaming at them in a cracked falsetto and with skinny arms outstretched, stood a strange apparition of a man.
“Wot the ’ell?” ejaculated one of the crew.
“A white man!” muttered the mate, and then: “Man the oars, boys, and we’ll just pull over an’ see what he wants.”
When they came close to the shore they saw an emaciated creature with scant white locks tangled and matted. The thin, bent body was naked but for a loin cloth. Tears were rolling down the sunken pock-marked cheeks. The man jabbered at them in a strange tongue.
“Rooshun,” hazarded the mate. “Savvy English?” he called to the man.
서평(Book Review)
"타잔의 아들"은 에드가 라이스 버로스가 세대 간의 연속성과 유전적 특성을 탐구한 작품입니다. 이 소설은 타잔의 아들 잭이 문명 세계에서 성장했음에도 불구하고 정글에 대한 본능적 끌림을 느끼는 과정을 통해, 유전과 환경이라는 보편적 주제를 다룹니다. 특히 아버지와 아들의 유사한 여정을 병렬적으로 보여주면서도, 각자가 직면하는 고유한 도전과 성장 과정을 섬세하게 묘사합니다. 이 작품은 타잔 시리즈를 단순히 확장하는 데 그치지 않고, 정체성 형성과 유산의 의미에 대한 깊은 성찰을 담아내어 시리즈에 새로운 깊이를 더합니다.
"The Son of Tarzan" is a work in which Edgar Rice Burroughs explores generational continuity and genetic traits. Through the process of Tarzan's son Jack feeling an instinctive attraction to the jungle despite growing up in the civilized world, this novel addresses the universal themes of heredity and environment. Particularly while showing the similar journeys of father and son in parallel, it delicately portrays the unique challenges and growth processes each faces. This work does not simply expand the Tarzan series but adds new depth to it by including deep reflections on identity formation and the meaning of legacy.
